Christmas Tree Tour: Cupcake Tree

Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! I’m so glad to have you! I have updated the Cupcake Heaven page, there are over 150 designs and recipes! Check it out!!

Well, since the Elves have been hard at work finishing up the decorating for the Holiday Home Tour, no cupcakes were baked this week. I know…I know…the shame! I’m sorry…BUT I do have a SUPER cool Cupcake Tree to share with you.

I have been gathering a few cupcake ornaments, and loved the Cupcake Tree from last year. But it seemed like all {or most} of our decorating this year has been different, unusual and totally thinking outside the box. So, the Cupcake Tree had to measure up to the rest of the decorations…right?

I went on the hunt for something shaped like a tree that I could use for the cupcakes…perfect! A cupcake stand!

I received a fun gift in the mail last week from my very dear friend Dawn, she knows me too well! I knew the new ornaments had to make a debut, a couple ornaments that I picked out last Summer while visiting Walmart headquarters and some fun little stickers that Dawn sent as well.

A few clear ornaments were filled with fun sprinkles {little tip – use a paper cone to easily fill them}

The garland is twine with the stickers glued on and simply tied onto the cupcake stand.

The topper…

Then came the jars with sprinkles and candy…

More sprinkles, candy and a jar filled with liners and a little jar with cupcake picks.

Oh and I can’t forget the fun Cupcake Towels, Dawn sent those too…during the Summer! I just love her!!

I cannot believe how nice those cupcakes look! I am amazed. I had to read more to see if you really made them – they look so professional. I have never tried anything that looks that nice before, and it motivated me to try something new. I would probably use the Ultragrain flour in bread, since I make a lot of breads, but I am definitely open to trying new recipes with it. Cooking gives me the chance to be creative and I like to try new things. I just can’t get over your cupcakes – they are SO nice!Marianne recently posted..Simple Savings – Use the Basics for Cleaning
